HC Deb 16 June 2003 vol 407 c68W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the waiting times are for follow-up appointments for consultant neurologists, broken down by Strategic Health Authority [118767]

Mr. Hutton

The current out-patient waiting time standard is that all patients should be seen for their first out-patient appointment within 21 weeks of the general practitioner referral.

Waiting time data for follow-up appointments or consultant to consultant referrals is not collected centrally.
